Lady Edith

She shared the news with only a few people, yet posted a video? Pffft. Its not “something special” between you and your husband to buy yourself a ring. The “something special” is the wedding band. The ORIGINAL wedding band. Or even if Shrek bought her the ring. That would be special. But supposedly she bought it herself. So it means nothing aside from what she paid for it. She just wants to keeps it hush hush so the griftees don’t get wind of it. But they will...it’s on social media! Mabe she she needs some people to judge her like she judges other people.

I doubt it’s real. It’s probably CZ and gold plated. Still, that was between $50-100 and was a piss poor choice for money expenditure. As was the patio refurb.

Someone on a FB page posted a pic of the ring. I’m reposting here. I would give credit if I knew it was ok to post person’s name. Admins, please remove pic if inappropriate... The money spent on this bauble could’ve at least put a dent on the food bill for a week. Combined with the money spent on the new patio, that family could’ve been eating well from now till Christmas. If not well, then better.

OK so maybe I have my timelines all askew, but can someone PLEASE explain to me how the Rods were able to secure a mortgage for their house? Was David working at the time? From the “moving in” video it sounded a hell of a lot like they went through the normal channels to get their house. Yet I heard somewhere that the house actually belongs to (her? His?) parents, who either moved into the rv or a smaller house. So confused by the grift! Oh...and I wish I could see the ring she bought for herself. Seriously? A new back patio that won’t be used till spring and now a ring? I hope folks start seeing through all this and stop donating.

Sofia is 3 1/2 years old. Really, there’s little danger of her suffocating on a pillow or with stuffed animals in her bed. HOWEVER If she really is in a crib, that’s ridiculous. I’m hoping she is actually sleeping on one of those convertible cribs that turns into a toddler bed by dropping the bed down to floor level. At her age both of my kids had pillows and fluffy comforters and a menagerie of stuffed animals in their beds. While I won’t hate on her for the animals, I will for the lack of pillow.

The high temp in Charleston, WV on Thanksgiving was 46 degrees F. That was at noon. Temps dropped quickly to near freezing by 6 pm. So the only people using that back patio were the smokers and I doubt there were any in attendance at the Rodriguii gathering. Defiling the temple and all that... 🙄 @Barb23 I think the green patches are leftover indoor/outdoor carpeting that is permanently bonded to the concrete with 1979s toxic carpet glue. But moss could be a close second. In which case some white vinegar and a scrubbing would clear that right up. Eh, who am I kidding? They probably painted over it. 😂😂😂 I never even noticed that!!!!! Siri is a B1+c#. Funny, but a b1+c#.

So they had money for patio furniture, a new rug and wood for a new patio roof but no money to fly their oldest son home for Thanksgiving? And they also grifted airline miles for his flight home at Christmas? Not to mention the documented lack of plentiful food or non-thrift-store clothing for the kids. A nice patio is NOT a necessity, Jill. Especially in West Virginia where it gets dang cold in the winter. Hasn’t seen her kid in months...kids all look emancipated...but she has a dang nice patio! Priorities!!!!!

My kids were on it...we live on the opposite coast. 😊

Awwww how super sweet..JoshUa and Pa Kettle are matchy matchy! Same fugly red and blue plaid shirt!

They could be on CHIP, a low-cost health insurance for kids. It’s amazing coverage, my kids have been on it. You pay on a sliding scale based on income...from $0/month to ? Per child. And almost everything is covered with no copay or coinsurance. But just because they have it does not mean they use it.

Maybe she thinks her leghumper followers won’t know what a pediatrician or neurologist is... 🙄

I think they used a pre-baked cookie kit. Those cookies look too perfectly shaped to be homemade. So I wonder if we will be graced with photos of the Rods’ Thanksgiving meal? I can see it...a 5# turkey, a pack of King’s Hawaiian rolls still in the plastic bag (not knocking...those rock), a bag of frozen corn, and a small serving bowl of mashed potatoes with two cups of gravy. And for dessert, a single pumpkin pie (half of which goes to David and Jill).

These could go in the box...

Ok so I follow a fundie-critical group on FB. Jill’s dinner was a topic of discussion. Someone mentioned that this was not enough food for the kids. Another person replied that the food on the table looked adequate according to USDA guidelines. I’m sure it may be in theory, but really, that’s just not a whole lot. I’m not obese. However if I ate according to those guidelines I would still be starving after a meal. I can easily eat an entire box of Kraft Deluxe max and cheese without being overly full. I’m very active and my metabolism allows me to do that. If I ate according to “guidelines”, I would look emaciated. And it seems as if the Rodriguii offspring are fairly active too. So if they are getting “recommended” sized portions, it may not be enough for them. Hence, their hollowed-out look. So why doesn’t Jill see this isn’t enough for their kids?

How Is this enough food for 13 people?!? Seriously??? I make that much for my family and there are now five of us (no baby, relative came to live with us). I’m sure the pecking order for dinner dictates who gets fed first: Shrek Of Shrek youngest kids middle kids Nurie Based on this picture the oldest kids don’t fast by choice. They eat if there’s anything left.

On the Topic of JD “knowing” Abby for years: To me it’s all in the phrasing of this sentence. It’s possible to know “of” someone for years and never really meet them. You can run in the same social circles or be involved in the same groups or even church and never officially meet. If this is the case then JD missed a key word in his sentence...”OF”. As in “I knew OF her for years...” To the Duggars there is precious little difference between a friend, an acquaintance, and someone they know on the periphery. They don’t grasp the difference. So I give JD a pass on the “I knew her for years” thing.

So I finished watching the episode around 1:30 this morning so I’m kind of hazy remembering lol! So here are my thoughts: Cindy. Give it up, girlfriend. The Mighty V was the pinnacle of your wedding decor success. The horse shoes/crown/rings /clitoris lookalike flower sculpture was not pretty. I will admit though that the banners fit with the pseudo-medieval look outside the cathedral. So I give you two snaps for that. But overall, meh. Laura: Your dress snatched some wigs. Including Sigh’s. I wish you would’ve done more with your hair though. It was straight before you hit the altar. A nice up-do would’ve done wonders for your dress. And girl, I think you really are cunning you and your parents snagged fundie royalty for you. Boob and Queen Zanax: way to secure a prime spot in a TV show you were banned from. They will be back as regulars, watch. And soon after, Joshley Madison. The lady who was “so over” the first kiss: you GO girl. No hiding that reaction. The rest of us feel the same

I thought the same thing! The funny thing is, only two people got the joke...Lauren’s Sister and (I believe) Dwain Swanson who (I believe) made the Mr. Darcy comment.

The bike riding without helmets is one thing. But doing it without shoes, totally another. I went bike riding in flip flops when I was around 10 years old. Similar situation, my friends and I riding in a circle like this. A girl came too close, her front wheel hooked onto mine, and we both went down. I nearly lost a toe. 15 stitches later they saved my toe but it could’ve been prevented if my mom had actually paid attention to what I was doing and what I was wearing to do it. In this instance Jilly Bean was probably coaxing them to do this...the picture of carefree kids. All for “likes”. Truly sad.

Took a peek at the wedding griftery. Lots of tools. Big tools. Camping equipment. A child’s fishing rod set. A guest cot. And games? I thought that cards were the devil’s gateway? I didn’t go too far into the list, but I can tell you what I didn’t see...27 sets of glasses, 80 sets of towels, 15 sets of dishes...they seem to be looking to furnish their home and not the TTH.

EW! Smuggar and OfSmuggar got married on my birthday. UGH!

So this nice long weekend I’m with my kiddos at our summer place. My youngest and I went to the grocery store. A large family walked ahead of us, cutting me off and making me nearly crash into them with my cart. Not an apology to be heard. So I noticed each of the seven kids...girls wore long sleeved shirts and heavy, long (ankle length), denim skirts with socks and sneakers in 90 degree heat. Long hair pulled up in tight buns, including mom. The boys in polo shirts and jeans. Dad was also in the same attire. All looked miserable except for a young teen daughter (maybe 13). She was bee-poppin’ along to the music playing over the speakers. Mom stopped cold in her tracks and said “Stop it now. We don’t do that”. Daughter looked like she was just caught doing something horrible. I felt so badly for her. The girl wasn’t even dancing, just walking with a bounce to the music. It made me so sad to see. Faith should make you feel free, not oppressed.

JD and Abby: Start the Engines! JD and Abba Dabba: Counting on a Spinoff Who loves JD? Abba Dabba Do! J’Abbie: No Longer Crabby JD and Abbie: Flying Into the Next Season of Life

Not a single Woman in that class. Not. Even. One. And the teacher/professor/biblical know-it-all looks like Tim Gunn from afar.

Wait...I thought Baptists didn’t believe in making “graven images”? So why the cross craft? And what happens after the craft is done? Nine times out of 10 they probably get pitched. If not right away, down the road when they get torn or faded or otherwise beaten up. And there are two boys up front wearing shorts. Are the parents now banished from Duggar Island for defrauding poor Jenni on her special day? The home made ginormous slip and slide does look fun...wonder how many modesty suits were worn that day? Can’t tell from the pic, but I’m guessing many. Or did the poor girls have to wear that awful dress/skirt/leggings combo as they got drenched on the slide? Ugh the feel of heavy wet denim...
